Can't see why not, maybe not at -10'C, but otherwise should be OK.

You may find it a bit cold due to the fabric  sides on the rising roof, and I would suggest a pitch with EHU to  run a fan heater if van doesn't have heating.

Depending on temperature be aware that tanks/taps can freeze and cause leeks, but a 5L container is easy to fill and keep inside.

Otherwise no reason not use van all year round.

And lowering the roof at night will keep the heat in better as well

We tend not to run the fan heater all night, can be a bit noisy clicking on and off, but would reccommend getting one with a built in thermostat.

I find i sometimes wake about 5am, as this seems to be the coldest time, and but heater on for a quick warm.

Hottie bottles well reccomended with a good sleeping bag. If you have the roof up why not use some fabric,such as fake fur to make an inner skin to the fabric roof, heavier curtains would also help. Also if it is possible and safe to do so,heat an upturned clay plant pot on the top of the stove and turn off gas before retiring,the residual heat in the pot will radiate like a storage heater.
